Visual Reporting
What Is Drag & Drop Reporting?
Drag and drop reporting lets users create reports by choosing data fields, dimensions, measures, aggregations and filters through a visual interface instead of manually constructing every query.
With Ubiq, you can use this visual workflow for routine reporting and move to SQL when an analysis requires more control. This gives business users a simpler way to explore data while preserving the flexibility analysts and technical users need.
Build Reports Without Writing SQL
Instead of starting with a blank SQL editor, choose the database fields you want to analyze and build the report visually. Ubiq helps you turn raw database data into useful reports without requiring SQL knowledge for common reporting tasks.
This is especially useful when managers, operations teams or business users need answers from data but do not want to depend on a developer for every report.
For a broader look at the different ways Ubiq lets you create database reports, explore the Ubiq report builder and reporting software.
Choose Dimensions and Measures Visually
Build a report by selecting the categorical fields you want to group by and the numeric values you want to measure. Ubiq lets you define the structure of a report visually, making it easier to understand how the result will be organized.
You can use dimensions such as date, product, region or customer category together with measures such as revenue, quantity or order count to answer common business questions.
If you are new to these concepts, see the tutorials on categories and measures.
Turn Database Data into Visualizations
Once you have selected the data for your report, present the result in a visualization that makes the information easier to understand. Ubiq helps you move from database fields to charts and reports in the same reporting workflow.
Choose a visualization appropriate for the question you are answering, then refine the report as your analysis evolves.

Filter the Data You Need
Reports are more useful when users can focus on the records that matter. Apply filters while creating reports to narrow the data by dates, categories, regions, customers or other relevant fields.
For reports that need interactive filtering after they are created, Ubiq also supports dynamic filters that let users change the view without rebuilding the report.
Explore dynamic filters, or follow the tutorial on applying dynamic filters.
Build Reports from Multiple Tables
Business questions often require data that is stored across more than one table. Ubiq lets you create reports using related data so you are not limited to a single table when building a visualization.
This allows reports to reflect the way your application or business database is actually structured while keeping the report-building experience visual.
For a step-by-step example, see how to create a multi-table chart.
Switch to SQL When You Need More Control
Drag and drop reporting is a convenient way to create many everyday reports, but it does not have to limit more advanced analysis. When a report requires custom query logic, technical users can work directly with SQL.
This gives teams a practical choice: use the visual workflow when it is sufficient, and use SQL when the analysis calls for greater control. Ubiq can therefore support both business users and experienced analysts within the same reporting environment.
See the SQL query editor and the tutorial on creating a chart using SQL.

Who Is Drag & Drop Reporting For?
Visual reporting makes database information more accessible while giving technical users a faster starting point for routine analysis.
Business Users
Create common reports without needing to write a query for every question.
Analysts
Build routine visual reports quickly and use SQL when deeper control is required.
Managers
Explore operational and performance data without depending on developers for every report.
Data Teams
Give more people a controlled visual path to the data they need for reporting.
From Report to Dashboard
A report often becomes more valuable when it is viewed alongside other metrics. After creating visualizations, bring related reports together in dashboards so teams can monitor important information from a single place.
That creates a natural reporting workflow: connect to your data, build a report visually, choose the right visualization, and organize the result into a dashboard.
